Profile:

Kumar Dharmasena is a product of Nalanda College, Colombo. The all-rounder plays for Bloomfield Cricket Club in Sri Lankan domestic cricket. Dharmasena came into the international scene in 1994 against South Africa, aged 22. His quickish off spinners, delivered with a slightly unorthodox action, are invariably accurate making him an ideal one-day bowler, especially in Sri Lankan conditions. With time he has also developed into a useful middle order batsman, which has guaranteed him regular place in the Sri Lankan one-day squad. His career came to a standstill after the Oval Test in 1998, when the International Cricket Council (ICC) questioned his bowling action. However, he worked hard on his action, and was cleared to play again by the Sri Lankan cricket board in July 2000. He soon returned to the ODI and Test squad, although now rarely plays Test cricket.(30.04.2002)
